An issue under Universal Rule 7

Post by _Chap »

A name was deleted from some of my posts on the grounds that it revealed in real life information.

I refer to Universal Rule 7:

7. Do not reveal personal or "in real life" information about any poster on this site that he or she has not explicitly revealed here. This includes avoiding mention of his/her actual first or last name, even if he or she has made it available on some other website.*


However, the person concerned has revealed this information, and more [url]on this board[/url], and hence Rule 7 does not apply:

My name is David Troy Anthony Bennett. i have a wife and three kids ages 13, 3, and 3 mos. I live in sandy Utah. I coach my 13 year old's basketball team--which so happens to be my favorite sport. I weigh 175 lbs and am in the process of getting back in shape so I'll shed 15 or so, I imagine. My hair is black, my eyes are brown, my mustache is fluffy, my nipple piercings are shiney. I chew my fingernails, which totally annoys my wife so i try not to very often. I am amazing at preserving underpants. They remain pristine after 10 years of use.

Peace to you all.


This point is not of practical importance to me, since I have put this poster onto ignore. However, should I ever wish to refer to him, I wish to have the freedom to use the information he has posted, should I so decide. It seems a good idea, too, that the principle is established that what has been revealed cannot be dropped down the memory hole once it has been revealed.

I also request that the deleted name should be restored to my posts.

I see that Dr. Scratch has forestalled me, and that Dr Shades has noted that my reference to the name 'David' was indeed allowed under Rule 7.

Well, the deletions still seem to be there in these posts, but so long as the point has been established I shan't complain. No-one is paying Shades (or yourself) to do this after all!

I think they last longer if you wear them over your garments.
